De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam.
De Bijenkorf is a chain of upmarket department stores in the Netherlands with its flagship store on Dam Square, Amsterdam. Founded in 1870 as a small store along the Nieuwendijk, it offers many prestigious brands in womenswear, menswear, accessories, beauty, food, and home. Its name means "the Beehive". De Bijenkorf has 12 stores and one outlet store nationwide. It is owned by Maxeda (formerly known as VendexKBB), which also owns the department store Vroom & Dreesmann and until June 2007, HEMA, both of which compete below the average price level of de Bijenkorf.
